A`tnixPRovr:artaum sLBIGH-BELLS.

nssche'auie :efenvod to in'enese natuursteen and mening `pm or the same' I, WILLIAM EBn'rn', of EastHampton, in the f county of Middlesex, Connecticut, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in- Sleigh-Bells, of which the-following is a specification.

` Natnfre and Objects of the Invention.

yMy invention consists inr a peculiar construction of sleighebells, primarily designed to adapt them to `be smoothed and nishediup in a lathe, and to he readily repolishcd-in the same'tirarme-r.` l

` "Dsertptionof theAceonqmng/hig Dra/wings. 1 `Figurel is a plan .view of two improved bellsattached tothe strap. l 0 y i Figure 2is anunder-side `view of one ofthc same, .Fignre isla transverse` rertical section ofa single hell and its strap.`

.i vFigures 4 and Brt-.present `alcommon form of bell, ,i fig. 4 being a planview, and iig. 5 an under-side View e ofthe same. i

:General Description,

" l `least myirnproved' bellsa'without a throat, sur porting that part of the cone, which would otherwise be supported thcreat, by projections formed by eyes cin Athe front. hemisphere, or,in other words, I cast the bell with eyes,1 b c, in both hemispheres, and withoutathroatl i 'Y 'lhe eyes donotinteifere with the operation of the "chisel or flat turning-tool in turning, as 'the throat would. j l ,l

The bell, as taken from the mold, is chnc'ked in a lathe in ordinary manner, and finished up with a flat Wuming-tool and burnishing-tool, and, when finished, a fine saw is 4used to divide one hemisphere with a saw-cut, e,-making a practical division snfiicient for vibra-tion in the iifont of the bell, and aviding the unsightly appearance of the ordinary wide slotted'throat shown in iig.,4.

'lofacilitate and extend the scope of turning, Icast a smallhub or projection onthe front of the bell, in the axial liuc of the same, and east or otherwise make i a drill center,l il, therein, so that the bell ma be sup ported by lathe-centers on both sides, whil'et e iinishing is done, and at' any time afterward when the bells 4require refinishing or burnishing'. y

The nnb d forms a part of the design or figureV ot bell itself.` j n The'saw-cutslot or throat e may be through the center d, or near it, as shown in lig. 1.

Claim.

`Iclaimasmyi`nvention i A -A's a new article of manufacture, the improved center, d, and a sawkerf throat or slit, e, for the purposes set forth. i V
